Solution

The correct option is B Heat is taken in or given out in the preparation
The parts of a mixture can be separated by physical means. A mixture does not have a sharp melting or boiling point. It may be homogeneous or heterogeneous. Energy is neither given out nor absorbed in the preparation of a mixture. However, heat is taken in or given out in the preparation of a compound.
